n Mahalia Meeuwsen holds all three of her identical triplets, Hannah, Rileigh and Isabelle, in the neonatal intensive care unit at Royal Inland Hospital in Kamloops.

Parents experience triple the joy

By Tracy Hughes

MArKet neWS StAff

It’s snuggles, times three, for Mahalia and Mike Meeuwsen, as their rare identical triplets are healthy and growing in the neonatal intensive care unit of Royal Inland Hospital.

The girls, Hannah, Rileigh and Isabelle, were born by C-section on Nov. 3, at approximately eight weeks premature.

They have been cared for in hospital since, but are making excellent progress.

Doctors say the odds of having identical triplets, who were conceived without the use of fertility treatments, are one in 50 million births.

The delivery had been scheduled for Nov. 16, but complications necessitated the earlier delivery date.

All three babies weighed just over three pounds each.

Mahalia says all three babies have had intravenous lines removed and no longer need the equipment that was assisting with their breathing.

“The girls are doing amazing, gaining weight and doing great,” says Mahalia, who is thrilled all three babies can be taken from their incubators and cuddled together. All

three girls are still being fed with tubes into their stomachs, but are beginning to breast and bottle feed.

Mahalia praises the hospital’s medical staff, saying the quality of care in the NICU has been “absolutely amazing.”

There is no word yet on when the triplets might be released from hospital and come home to Salmon Arm.

Divvying up tax dollars

STORE WIDE % 25% TO 50OFF

Budget 2016: Council decides who gets how much.

EXCLUDING PANDORA

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAff

Salmon Arm taxpayers will be facing a 2.96 per cent tax increase in 2016.

For a resident with what the city terms an average $288,000 home, that amounts to an approximate $40 increase over 2015.

However, households will also see an $11.30 reduction in the solid waste and recycling levy, so, in total, the homeowner will be paying about $29 more on next year’s tax bill.

Added to that, in a separate bill in December, will be a 2.6 per cent or $7.20 rise in the sewer rate.

For a commercial property assessed at $500,000, the tax increase next year would be about $172.

Near the end of budget deliberations, council considered the 32 groups and individuals who had requested funds from the city’s 2016 budget via ‘specific referrals.’ Some received their full request, others received part, while some requests were denied.

In the parks department, the Blackburn Park Splash Park will be going ahead, at a total cost of $355,000.

The Rotary of Salmon Arm - Daybreak Club is providing $100,000, city reserves will be the source for $150,000, and a negotiated contribution from the SmartCentres development will total $105,000.

The Salmon Arm Folk Music Society received $50,000 of a $60,000 request for operational funding. The city also provides an annual amount for fairgrounds maintenance –

n Funds were approved in the 2016 city budget to continue improvements to Blackburn Park, this time to build a splash park. $14,000 in 2016.

Two requests were received for funds for a cultural master plan, but council decided it would initiate the plan.

Coun. Tim Lavery noted one organization has a vision for a performing arts centre and another for a cultural plan, “but they’re not talking together.” He suggested, for a start, $5,000 be put towards the plan, with the city starting the conversation on how to proceed.

A request for $1,000 from the Salmon Arm Elks #455 for lawn mowing was referred to the Shuswap Community Foundation, at the suggestion of Coun.

Louise Wallace Richmond.

“It’s undersubscribed, they’re not overwhelmed with applications,” she said of the foundation.

The Salmon Arm Chamber of Commerce Visitor Centre will receive $130,500 for one year of operation, but Wallace Richmond requested a discussion with the chamber prior to next year’s funding decisions. She wants to discuss “what a visitor centre looks like in the

digital age.”

The Shuswap Trail Alliance received approval from council for $40,000 towards operational funding. Also approved was $12,000 for the BCSPCA; $5,000 for Salmon Arm Citizens Patrol; $7,500 for the Shuswap Children’s Association for a swim platform at Canoe Beach; $1,200 to the Community Heritage Committee for the Canada 150 sub-committee and the coordination of a central registry of events; and $3,000 requested by Al Boucher for more infield maintenance at the Canoe softball diamonds.

Council agreed to provide $30,000 of a $92,000 request from Canoe Forest Products for an upgrade of the watermain along a portion of Canoe Beach Drive from six to eight inches.

Coun. Kevin Flynn urged that as one of the city’s biggest employers, the funds make sense, plus fire chief Brad Shirley said it would improve firefighting safety and effectiveness.

A request from Downtown Salmon

Arm for $21,000 for recycling bins downtown garnered $10,500 from council. Coun. Alan Harrison said he supports the bins but thinks DSA should cost share, at least the capital cost of the bins.

Doug Adams with the Salmon Arm Museum and Heritage Association requested $50,000 for each of two years for the Montebello Block Project. Haney Village also receives $106,000 annually.

Council agreed to add $15,000 to an earlier contribution of $10,000 in 2016 for a total of $25,000, as well as an additional $25,000 the year after.

Adams said Canada 150 funding has been put on hold for now because of the election, but the project will proceed in any event.

The Economic Development Society will receive $15,000 of a request for a $25,000 contract increase. After much discussion, council decided that a total of $7,500 will go towards the society’s request, while the other $7,500 is intended to go towards assisting the city with the implementation of a hotel tax.

Sculpture has $300,000 price tag

By Lachlan Labere

MARKET NEWS STAFF

Sicamous council has budgeted $300,000 for a sculptural concept to adorn the future roundabout on Highway 97A. The concept was presented at last week’s council meeting. Designed by McElhanney Consulting Services, and funded by the Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, the proposed roundabout sculpture includes a

layered mix of rounded horizontal and vertical panels, animated by lighting.

Four variations of the concept were presented to council, varying with the materials proposed for use. Construction costs for each range between $305,000 and $410,000 (plus GST and 20 to 30 per cent contingency). Council chose the least expensive, which includes panels of corten- and brushed-stainless steel.

$

About half of the budgeted cost is slated to come from general revenue, while Mayor Terry Rysz is hopeful the remainder (if not all) will be funded through grant money or other opportunities.

“Even though we’ve got it in the budget, the resources could come through possibly a grant or an association or regional district,” said Rysz. “I’m not expecting it to cost the taxpayer of Sicamous the full $300,000.”

Woman pushed out of moving car RCMP R E P O RT Salmon Arm RCMP are recommending charges of assault causing bodily harm be laid after a incident in which a woman appears to have been thrown from a moving vehicle.

On Nov. 13, at approximately 6:20 p.m. police responded to a call that a woman needed help in the area of Auto Road.

A witness told police the door of a car in front of him opened and a woman fell out, hitting the side of his truck as she rolled down the street. The woman was ushered back into the car, but drove away from the scene before police arrived.

RCMP officers located the 44-year-old woman three hours later and had ambulance personnel attend to her injuries. The victim claimed to have been thrown from the car by another occupant of the vehicle.

Police say they have determined the identify of a male suspect and are recommending that Provincial Crown counsel charge him with assault causing bodily harm. The victim is expected to make a full recovery.

Laptop extortion On Nov. 12 Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a complaint of a break and enter to a residence where a laptop was stolen. Police were able to quickly determine that this was a targeted attack. The incident occurred while there were two occupants in the residence, one of whom had borrowed money from the male suspect days earlier. The male suspect was demanding to be re-paid.

Police then executed a search warrant on another Salmon Arm residence and recovered the laptop along with other evidence pertaining to this crime.

A male suspect has been arrested and the Salmon Arm RCMP will be recommending charges to provincial Crown counsel which include break and enter and extortion.

Driver investigated Salmon Arm RCMP responded to a rollover motor vehicle incident on 11th Avenue NE at 3:40 a.m. on Nov. 15. A male driver was located and was suffering from a gash to his head. He is being investigated for impaired operation of a motor vehicle.

Canada must be a voice for peace We were appalled by the acts, angry at the perpetrators and bewildered at the motivations. Mostly, there is sadness. Sadness at the murder of the innocent, the most unjustifiable of crimes. But sadness, too, at this assault on peace.

Were France’s streets safe, or was it an illusion?

If safety was an illusion there, then is it an illusion in other places, like Canada?

If we are not safe, should we be scared? And if we are scared, does that mean that the terrorists win?

The problem is, it’s not as simple as winning and losing, or good versus evil, or us versus them. It’s hard to fathom, behind the wanton terror, but the other side believes its cause is right and just, too.

And though we must not allow terror to triumph, the threat is scattered and unidentifiable. It’s tempting to seek vengeance, but where do we go and what can we hope to accomplish there?

It’s not wholly wrong to wage war. Indeed, it would be wrong to meekly condone Islamic State’s violence and human rights atrocities. Primarily, though, Canada must be a voice for peace in the world. It may be that in this instance, we will need to fight for peace, but if we must fight, it should be done with the belief that there exists a better way.

The shootings and the bombings that terrorized Paris last week do not signal that the world is spinning into a descent toward war and violence and death, because it isn’t. Rather, as the world revolves, humanity continues to evolve toward a more peaceful existence. It’s hard to believe in times like these, but it’s happening, though slowly, too slowly.

Mahatma Gandhi said, “There is no way to peace. Peace is the way.” Peace must be not only our hope, but our guiding principle. It must be so.

World peace depends on it.

OPINION

Published by Black Press Ltd. 171 Shuswap Street NW, Salmon Arm, B.C.

International fishing muddies the water Fishing for trout was pretty good this fall on the Adams River and that was in spite of the fact that there were not a lot of returning salmon. How many times over the years have I stood on the banks of the Adams and watched returning sockeye complete the inevitable and eternal part of their life cycle? Returning salmon must make their way past many a hurdle on the Fraser before ever reaching their spawning grounds along the Adams. Which is one of the reasons I no longer fish for salmon.

I have eaten salmon smoked, candied, barbecued, poached and just about every other way salmon can be prepared. I enjoy eating salmon, especially sockeye – every bit as much as I used to enjoy fishing for them.

The problem is that sockeye salmon stocks are in trouble.

Scientists with the Department of Fisheries and Oceans attribute the decline of the Fraser River fish stocks to any number of factors. Most recently they’ve been saying that it is due to poor survival rate of salmon while in the ocean. According to DFO reports, “young

THE GREAT OUTDOORS James Murray fish are suffering high mortality rates as they move from the Fraser River into saltwater conditions, and are subsequently finding less food to eat in the Pacific Ocean in the years spent maturing to adults.”

It just seems as though each and every fall DFO comes out with the same old tired statement that they “have some serious concerns” about the Fraser River sockeye run. Hopefully, under the new federal government, DFO will actually come out with a plan – maybe even one based on the recommendations put forward in the Cohen Commission’s report. We shall see.

Meanwhile, every year returning sockeye numbers

on the Fraser are in steady decline. But each year there are an estimated 10 million pink salmon that entered the Fraser River system. Should we not be looking at pinks as an alternative to the sockeye?

In the past couple of years the B. C. Salmon Marketing Council has made a major push to promote salmon species other than sockeye, most notably pinks and chum. Sockeye salmon may be more desirable in some ways to pinks or chum. A lot depends on people’s perception ... which is based on what they believe to be more desirable and what advertisers tell consumers is more desirable. On a positive note, some of B.C.’s top restaurants are now listing pink salmon on their menus.

On a less than positive note though, while BC’s salmon catches are in steady decline, countries such as Russia, Japan, and Alaska have been experiencing bumper harvests.

Massive harvesting and processing vessels routinely sail the oceans completely uncontrolled. All the while, the list of seafood options for consumers continues

to grow, including farmed salmon and less expensive fish species such as hake, which is now taken in large numbers off the coast of B.C. Many of the larger grocery chains also offer consumers fish such as basa, a type of catfish native to the Mekong River Delta in Vietnam, and something called tilapia. I couldn’t even tell you what a tilapia looks like never mind where it comes from.

The problem is, as consumers, half the time we don’t even know what we are eating.

My point is that international fishing and processing practices are adding to the problems of the fishery here in B.C. We need DFO to come up with a proper plan – one that will help Fraser River sockeye numbers to increase while not putting unnecessary pressure on other fish stocks. I won’t even get into the problems with halibut stocks off the B.C. coast.

We have a new federal government in place and we need to let them know, in no uncertain terms, that something needs to be done out here before it is too late.

Service should respect set time for silence I was meeting a friend at the Cenotaph for the Remembrance day service. She arrived to hear the trumpet playing the Last Post, I arrived at 10:45 a.m. during the two minutes of silence.

People were still arriving before 11 a.m.

expecting to get there in time but the wreaths were already being laid.

Speaking with others in the crowd, “O Canada” was not sung to start the program.

And about the early start, the announcer said, “It’s 11 o’clock

somewhere.”

Well, no it is not. It was a disgrace, certain protocol must be followed to show national unity.

We felt cheated, we were all there to attend the 11 a.m. service.

There is great meaning and significance to

Nov 11, at 11 a.m.

We all expect the two minutes of silence to be at 11 a.m., period.

Last year it was the same, the service started too early.

Canada should avoid involvement in Middle East We must not forget.

In the aftermath of the Paris attacks, we must not forget how ISIS began in the first place. It was Cheney and Bush’s illegal and immoral Iraq war, in which hundreds of thousands died that unleashed the cycle of violence that appears to have no end in sight.

And at the root of these conflicts are the war profiteers; the corporations whose share prices are soaring that produce the endless supply of weapons that end up on either side of the conflicts. And now Canada is part of this supply chain, with billions of dollars worth of armoured vehicles

heading to Saudi Arabia, thanks to Harper and his refusal to join most of the countries in the world and sign the UN small arms treaty.

With the new Trudeau government in Ottawa, Canada should reconsider joining those that seek retribution over the attacks and help foster

peace by encouraging the West to leave the Mideast and let the multiple Islamic factions sort out the mess themselves.

The world needs to instead focus on the biggest threat of all, climate change.

Jim Cooperman

Construction of trail incorrectly identified Jim Cooperman’s column on ‘Exploring Shuswap places’ (Shuswap Market News, Nov. 13) was compelling and informative for residents and visitors alike.

However, his description of Mt. Ida’s nature trail incorrectly attributes the construction of this trail to “Shuswap Outdoors” in the 1970s.

The following is an excerpt from a guidebook of that ‘era’ – Trails to the Shuswap 2nd ed., 1976, p. 21, Barz, Crowley, Crowley, Wharton. It reads in part: “Local college students, (including Don Barz, Brian MacDon-

ald, Nora Butler, and others), using funds provided by an Opportunities for Youth grant, completed location and construction of the trail traversing the East and West Summits of Mt. Ida in 1972 and 1973.

“The trail is an interesting nature walk, since the east side of the mountain receives more precipitation than the west side, and thus is thickly wooded with cedar, hemlock and Douglas fir.

“The mountain’s top has many grassy areas and the lower elevations on the western side are open stands of western yellow pine (Ponderosa Pine), indicating the more arid

nature of this side.”

Ecologically significant ‘hanging bogs’ are also present on the mountain’s northwest side.

(An exciting incident occurred in 1972 while Brian MacDonald and I were traversing the summit ridge to find the best trail route. Brian was a little ahead, and shouted when he plunged through shallow, early spring snow into an occupied blackbear’s winter den!

Fortunately, his loud shouts did not awaken the sleeping bear, and we continued – rather speedily – along the summit ridge!)

South ShuSwap Arts alive in South Shuswap

Home at last: Lower level of Carlin Hall place for many activities.

The establishment of the new home of the Arts Council for the South Shuswap, in collaboration with the Carlin & District Recreation Association, is nearing completion on the lower level of Carlin Hall. Together with the upstairs stage and kitchen facility, it will result in a new arts and cultural community centre for the area.

“This comingtogether of the two groups has piqued the interest of community leaders in the Shuswap, as the two nonprofit organizations have found a creative way to work towards sustainability for both groups,” says Karen Brown, arts council administrator.

New Digs – Effective Sept. 1 the Arts Council and all of its programming opened on the lower level of Carlin Hall.

The space boasts a large and comfortable foyer and waiting area for guests, a sprung floor and mirrored dance studio, two large sound-proofed music rooms and a bright and airy art room.

“What’s truly astonishing is, due to the

hard work of many contractors, trades and a hardworking core of volunteers, the construction took just over three months,” says Brown. “The push was definitely on to get the bulk of the improvements done so that children especially, could start their classes in dance, music, art and theatre before we ventured too far into the year.”

Brown gives much of the credit to Reg Walters of Walters Construction for seeing the space come so far within the 90 days.

“Reg is a great guy, one who comes from a long-standing community-minded family, the Walters from Notch Hill,” says Brown of Walters’ expertise and involvement in many infrastructure projects that revolved around the arts. “His knowledge, expertise and commitment to this initiative was invaluable and we certainly couldn’t have pulled off a project of this magnitude without his involvement.”

n The lower floor of Carlin Hall has become a visually beautiful and efficient space. Combined with the upstairs stage and kitchen facility, South Shuswap now has a new arts and cultural community centre. nor MacDonald Construction, Bill Jordan, RH Electric and many people who volunteered countless hours, were instrumental in the renovation.

As well, assistance provided by Community Futures, was vital to the project, she adds New Council – The Arts Council for the South Shuswap serves as an umbrella organization overseeing four vibrant programs.

Founding Directors are Lona Heinzig,

president; Ryan Kurz, vice- president; Rhys Laug, Shera Niewenhuizen, Elise Jonker and Hilary Brown as directors.

Each of the directors oversees an initiative, working collectively to support the council’s mandate and vision of fostering arts and culture in the region.

FACES started as a private dance, art and music school in 2012, and is well known to most families in the South Shuswap.

Holistically speaking Tree of Life Holistic Healing Inc. owner and operator Karrie Bush believes in a holistic approach to self-care.

A Reiki master, Bush provides traditional Japanese Reiki intended for mind and body well-being.

“It is an ancient method of healing, a holistic approach to balance the body and mind and it accelerates the body’s self-healing abilities,” she says.

Bush also offers sapphire abrasion and cold laser treatment, a crystal and suctionfree system that uses vibration to painlessly abrade the outermost layers of the skin, revealing the healthier layers beneath.

Bush says the coldlight therapy is a noninvasive skin treatment that works well on scars, stretch marks, expression lines, toning and appearance that goes beyond a cosmetic change.

Bush says from her own experience and what she has seen in clients is increased self-confidence.

“When they come in for the skin treatments, they’re kind of shy, lacking a little selfconfidence,” she says.

“When they are done the six treatments, it’s a transformation; you see them smiling and you see their light.”

Bush says the treatments are complemented by an organic

skin care line.

“It’s all about health and well-being,” she says.

That leads to the Reiki treatments Bush also provides.

“Reiki is excellent for healing any physical, mental, emotional and spiritual issue of any kind,” he says.

Tree of Life Holistic Inc. is located at 4-2425 Golf Course Dr. in the Blind Bay Marketplace next to the Shuswap Lake Golf Course in Blind Bay. Hours are 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday and on Saturdays by appointment.

Continued from pg 8 ES is unsurpassed with local artistic talents Sylvain Vallee, Larry Stephenson and Lynn Erin heading up the music and art, while Storm Dafoe and Cera Bollo take care of the dance department,” says Brown.

Adult workshops in pottery, art, painting, needle felting, fabric arts, dance, photography, storytelling, creative writing and more are also offered.

The first Saturday of each month is Kids Day in the art studio, an affordable $10 twohour art class where kids can create a wonderful take-home masterpiece.

The Arts Council, through FACES, strives to put programming in place to welcome in all ages and levels of creativity.

Working alongside administrator Karen Brown, directors Ryan Kurz and Elise Jonker oversee FACES. • Arts council directors Laug and Heinzig oversee the children’s theatre, which has presented three very successful productions, involving Shuswap kids from ages 5 to 15.

Treasure Island, Alice in Wonderland and A Grimm Night for Hans Christian Andersen have been presented under the direction of Ann Skelhorne.

“The kids take an active role in the creative process and new to the program this year, older kids in the company provide mentoring to younger children and new recruits joining the troupe for the first time,” says Brown.

Auditions for the 2016 production will take place later this month. If your child is interested, call Lona at 250-463-4536.

“We are very excited about the many possibilities a partnership with the arts council entails,” says Carlin and District Recreation Association president Larry Stephenson.

“Bringing these two like-minded non-profit associations together will not only help to preserve our community’s existing arts and cultural activities, it will also encourage growth as instructional programming becomes more accessible and opportunities for involvement from all age groups are provided.”

Adds Laug, “One of the key mandates for the arts council is to collaborate with other community groups and we are very excited to be presented with this opportunity to work on this long-term joint project with the Carlin Hall board.”

Their mandate is to serve as a multi-purpose facility that can welcome community and family events and provide the public with cultural opportunities such as various music concerts and coffee houses.

The board is looking

to change the name of the society to the Carlin Community Arts & Cultural Centre, which is more in line with the association’s mandate.

“Carlin Hall board was looking for a way to broaden programming resulting in more hours of use in a year,” says Laug, noting they already had a cultural focus, especially in music.

INFORMATION DESIGNED TO PROMOTE AND ENHANCE YOUR WELLBEING

Intrigue with natural health solutions has no bounds

(NC) Kale, coconut water, brussel sprouts, freshpressed juices – these are just a few of the health trends keeping people fit. Trends are constantly changing of course and so are we. As the New Year approaches with resolutions in mind, the Canadian Health Food Association (CHFA) gives insights into a few of these nutritional sensations.

“Oils were all the rage this past year, whether they were being applied topically or drizzled on our favourite salads,” explains CHFA president, Helen Long. “We saw new oils on the market such as avocado oil, which is rich in monounsaturated fats and vitamin E. Avocado oil is also excellent for cooking or sautéing due to its high

smoke point. More beauty products on the market also included all-natural oils in their ingredients, such as coconut oil and argan oil.

We also saw all things fermented: from vegetables to beverages, the fermented foods trend swept Canada.

Fermented tea, otherwise known as kombucha, started appearing on grocerystore shelves and in yoga studios. Flavoured with healthy ingredients such as ginger and antioxidantrich fruits, this effervescent beverage became quite the fan favourite. We also saw fermented foods from different cultures like kimchi, sauerkraut and fermented garlic.

The fermentation process liberates nutrients in our foods, helping us absorb phytonutrients, some amino acids, B vitamins and minerals like zinc and magnesium.

“We were aware of fermented tea, but a trend we didn’t expect to see was tea in our face

creams,” Long points out.

“When polyphenol-rich tea is applied topically to the skin, these natural compounds have been shown to reduce oxidative stress and inflammation caused by UV exposure. It is this oxidative stress and inflammation that can lead to premature wrinkles, as collagen in the skin breaks down and the elasticity of the skin degrades. Green tea was an especially popular ingredient in natural beauty products this year.”

And, she says, Canadians are still going nuts for coconuts. “We saw all kinds of coconut products, such as coconut chips, coconut ice cream, and coconutoil-based hair and skin products. This trend doesn’t seem to be dying down any time soon, but we’ll have to wait and see what the New Year brings.”

If you want to stay upto-date on the latest health trends visit chfa.ca. www.newscanada.com

Tips to help your family fight the flu this season (NC) With each day the weather gets colder, and thoughts turn to bundling up and hunkering down. But as the temperature drops, we are reminded that flu season is right around the corner.

“There are some really simple ways to help your family fight the flu this winter,” explains Laura Weyland, a pharmacist with Shoppers Drug Mart.

“People don’t have to wait it out and hope for the best. There are three easy tips to help keep you healthy this year: eat well, wash your hands frequently, and get the flu shot.”

“While it’s important to make healthy food choices all year, it’s also a good idea to look at what you eat during flu season to ensure you’re getting the nutrients your body needs,” says Laura McCann, a registered dietitian with Loblaws. “Vitamins

C and E are antioxidants for the maintenance of good health while zinc supplements have been proven to help maintain immune function.

Foods that contain an abundance of these are good to look for during your grocery shop.”

Below are a few foods that will help you maintain a healthy diet: • Citrus Fruit - Not only are citrus fruits a good source of vitamin C, they’re naturally delicious. If fresh fruit is not an option, look for fresh or frozen 100% fruit juice.

• Beans and Legumes - Boost your zinc intake by including a variety of beans and legumes in your diet.

• Nuts and Seeds - A variety of nuts and seeds during cold and flu season help you benefit from vitamin E – a dietary antioxidant that helps in the maintenance of good health.

• Garlic - Raw garlic has been traditionally used in herbal medicine for hundreds of years to help relieve the symptoms associated with upper respiratory tract infections and catarrhal conditions.

To help protect your family, make sure everyone gets a flu shot. Flu shots are available at Shoppers Drug Mart or at your local grocery store pharmacy. www.newscanada.com

Diabetes becoming increasingly prevalent HEALTHY BITES Serena Caner November is Diabetes Awareness Month One of the most prevalent chronic diseases affecting almost 10 percent of Canadians is diabetes.

Many people have the impression that diabetes is a disease only for the overweight and under-exercised; however, diabetes can affect anyone.

In fact, the risk factors for diabetes are becoming so extensive that soon it will include things like “having a stressful job” or “having children.”

Diabetes became a temporary reality for me during my second pregnancy. For several months, I had to repeatedly check my

blood sugars, fret over my food intake and take insulin injections.

Needless to say, it is a condition for which I empathize.

There are different types of diabetes, but they all relate to having higher-than-normal blood sugar levels.

Over time, this can have negative effects on all your vessels and put you at higher risk for heart attacks, kidney disease, blindness and nerve damage.

Treating diabetes is time-consuming and

expensive. Fifty-seven percent of Canadians with diabetes reported they cannot adhere to prescribed treatment due to the high out-ofpocket cost of needed medications, devices and supplies.

The good news about diabetes is that the most common form of diabetes, type 2 diabetes, may be prevented or at least delayed in many people.

One of the most convincing studies included 3,234 overweight Americans of varying

ethnicities diagnosed with pre-diabetes, a condition when your blood sugar levels are a little high, but not high enough to be classified as diabetic.

The group who made lifestyle changes (reduced calories and saturated fat and performed 150 minutes of activity per week, aiming to lose five to seven per cent of their body weight), reduced their risk of developing diabetes by 58 per cent compared to the group who did nothing.

The lifestyle change group also outperformed the medication group.

Having a healthy lifestyle does not preclude you from getting diabetes; however, it significantly decreases your odds.

Making changes to better sustain our health is not always easy. The daily grind of choosing nutritious foods and getting our exercise can sometimes feel futile.

However, while we do not fully understand

Use plain language instead of cheesy buzzwords

GUest shot Chris Foulds Read the following paragraph about an education project and attempt to explain to the person next to you what the heck it means: “The program will focus on project-based learning that supports elementary, secondary and university teachers co-designing and implementing crosscurricular learning tasks and appropriate evaluation tools. Areas of focus include enhanced student learning, building teacher capacity, utilizing innovative practices, connecting with the community, and deep-

ening the learning network.”

I received the email and that paragraph, the crucial passage designed to describe what the program is all about, is essentially indecipherable.

It was the latest in a long list of government bafflegab in which PR people apparently feel the need to use and abuse buzzwords, stretch convoluted sentences to the extreme and insert every hardto-understand piece of jargon they can find to justify the press releases they send out.

It is maddening, frustrating and irritating — and the above paragraph that arrived in my email inbox this week pushed me over the edge.

I read it. I read it again. I read it a third time.

I printed it out and asked some co-workers to read it.

They had to do so two or three times before coming to the understanding they did not understand what it was the author was trying to tell us.

So, I emailed the sender, a member of B.C. Government Caucus Communications, and asked if he could boil that paragraph down into a simplified explanation even my cat could understand.

He replied, noting that hideous paragraph housing that obnoxious collection of confusion was actually written by someone at a school in Kamloops and was sent to the Ministry of Education as part of the project proposal.

The communications guy sent me some ministry background, but conceded “it’s also pretty dense.”

Such jargon-filled paragraphs are apparently enough of a problem that both the

federal and provincial governments have plain-writing guides for their employees.

British Columbia has a plain-language web page that advises its employees to write in simple terms. It advises to “cut unnecessary words, avoid jargon whenever possible by using everyday language, use words that are clear and commonly used by the audience and use concrete language with terms familiar to everyday people.”

Other governments have actually passed legislation, mandating their employees to use plain language.

Five years ago, U.S. President Barack Obama signed into law the Plain Writing Act of 2010, which calls for plain language in every government document issued to the public.

The web site has some excellent exam-

ples of how one can clean up a message.

Here’s hoping the next government-related paragraph that lands in my inbox is rinsed clean of verbose buzzwords that do little but obscure the message.

First responder petition comes to Piccadilly

By Tracy Hughes

markEt nEws staff

Working on the front lines of emergency service, as a paramedic, firefighter, police officer, first responder or dispatcher, is inherently a stressful job.

Don Devine, a retired paramedic who now lives in Scotch Creek, is part of an effort to have this notion recognized in legislation, so that front-line emergency workers can have easier access to treatment and counselling to deal with the stresses from their work, be it paid or volunteer.

He’ll be set up in the Mall at Piccadilly to collect signatures on Wednesday, Nov. 25 from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.

Devine is petitioning for a “presumptive clause” to be added to WorkSafe BC and other legislation. This means that it is automatically presumed that a person with this type of job is at risk for mental-health problems like post-traumatic stress disorder, and can access treatment immediately rather than having to prove their claim is legitimate.

“Even though things have improved, we want more protection for people who have a mental health injury. With jobs like these, it can be one traumatic event that can trigger an issue, or a lot of little things that can get you, but the results can be the same – depression, withdrawal, anger, exhaustion,” says Devine.

ers and they deserve immediate care and financial assistance, not going through a runaround of defining whether they have a legitimate claim.”

Devine and others involved in the cause have also garnered some significant support.

On Sept. 24, the Union of BC Municipalities unanimously passed a resolution supporting a presumptive clause for first responders in B.C. Devine also plans to visit malls and other public places in Chase, Sorrento and Vernon with copies of the petition, and hopes that when people see him, they will add their names to the effort.

Paris: the terrorist strategy GLOBAL VIEWS Gwynne Dyer As always after a major terrorist attack on the West, the right question to ask after the slaughter in Paris is: what were the strategic aims behind the attack?

This requires getting your head around the concept that terrorists have rational strategies, but once you have done that the motives behind the attacks are easy to figure out. It also becomes clear that the motives have changed.

The 9/11 attacks on the United States in 2001 followed the classical terrorist strategy of trying to trick the target government into over-reacting in ways that ultimately serve the terrorists’ interests.

Al-Qaeda’s goal was to sucker the United States into invading Muslim countries.

Al Qaeda was a revolutionary organization whose purpose was to overthrow existing Arab governments and take power in the Arab countries, which it would then reshape in accord with its extreme Islamist ideology.

The trouble was that Islamist movements were not doing very well in building mass support in the Arab world, and you need mass support if you want to make a revolution.

Osama bin Laden’s innovation was to switch the terrorist attacks from Arab governments to Western ones, in the hope of luring them into invasions that would radicalize large number of Arabs and drive them into the arms of the Islamists. His hopes were fulfilled by the US invasion of Iraq in 2003.

Once the Western troops went in, there was a steep decline in terrorist attacks on Western countries. AlQaeda wanted Western troops to stay in the Middle East and radicalize the local populations, so it made no sense to wage a terrorist campaign that might make Western countries pull their troops out again.

The resistance in Iraq grew quickly and attracted Islamist fighters from many other Arab countries. The organization originally known as “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” underwent several name changes, to “Islamic State in Iraq” in 2006; then to “Islamic State in Iraq and Syria” – ISIS for short – in 2013, and finally to simply “Islamic State” in 2014. But the key personnel and the longterm goals remained the same throughout.

The man who now calls himself the “Caliph” of Islamic State, Abu Bakr al-Bahdadi, first joined “Al-Qaeda in Iraq” and started

fighting the US occupation forces in Iraq in 2004. But along the way the strategy changed, for ISIS eventually grew so strong that it conquered the extensive territories in Syria and Iraq that now make up Islamic State.

Popular revolutions were no longer needed.

The core strategy now is simply conquest.

In that case, why are Islamic State and Al-Qaeda still attacking Western targets?

One reason is because the jihadi world is now split between two rival jihadi franchises that are competing for supporters.

Spectacular terrorist operations against Western targets appeal to both franchises because they are a powerful recruiting tool in jihadi circles. But Islamic State has a further motive: it actually wants Western attacks on it to cease.

It’s a real state now, with borders and an army and a more or less functional economy. It doesn’t want Western

forces interfering with its efforts to consolidate and expand that state, and it hopes that terrorist attacks on the West may force them to pull out.

France is a prime target because French aircraft are part of the Western-led coalition bombing Islamic State, and because it’s relatively easy to recruit terrorists from France’s large, impoverished and alienated Muslim minority.

Russia has also become a priority target since its aircraft started bombing jihadi troops in Syria, and the recent crash of a Russian airliner in Sinai may be due to a bomb planted

by Islamic State.

So the outlook is for more terrorist attacks wherever Islamic State (and, to a lesser extent, Al-Qaeda) can find willing volunteers.

Western countries with smaller and better integrated Muslim communities are less vulnerable than France, but they are targets too.

Putting foreign

ground troops into Syria would only make matters worse, so the least bad option for all the countries concerned is to ride the terrorist campaign out.

Horrendous though the attacks are, they pose a very small risk to the average citizen of these countries.

Statistically speaking, it’s still more dangerous to cross the street, let alone climb a ladder.

Help with addictions Interior Health is introducing a new alcohol and drug intensive program (ADIP) this month.

ADIP is a four-week, three days-a-week intensive outpatient program for adults who are experiencing challenges with substance use.

“It provides a safe environment in which participants are encouraged to relate to themselves and others in a more authentic and healthy way to gain more insight into and skills to cope with their substance issues,” reads an IH document.

The program is described as being a great alternative to residential treatment.

The program outlines several goals.

• educate clients about the development and patterns of addiction, triggers and cravings, relapse prevention, the process of change, the role of support groups and stress and coping skills; • explore underlying issues that may have contributed to substance use; • gain further awareness of the role substance use plays in clients’ lives and to recreate their life story and • experience and release some of the emotional barriers in the way of meeting their recovery goals.

Clients will explore relevant topics through videos, lectures, discussions, homework and group activities.

The next group will run from 9:30 a.m. to 2 p.m. Wednesdays through Fridays from Nov. 25 to Dec. 11 at the downtown office of Mental Health and Substance Use at 431 Hudson Ave. Referrals to the ADIP can be made through a clinician or through the substance abuse intake process Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 1 to 3 p.m. at the Mental Health and Substance Use office.

For more information, call 250-833-4103.

In a whirl

n Jenelle Petersen of Sadok Ukrainian Dance Ensemble performs at the 24 annual Sleigh of Hope Jamboree at the Mall at Piccadilly on Saturday, Nov. 14. The event kicks off the Christmas campaign to gather food, gifts and cash for the Salvation Army Food Bank.

Region featured in cemetery name

By Martha Wickett

MARKET NEWS STAFF

“Shuswap” won out over “Woodlands” and “Forest Grove.”

As part of the city’s cemetery master plan in 2013, city staff began compiling a list of suggested names for the new cemetery.

Staff report that

Deborah Chapman, curator of the R.J. Haney Heritage Museum, was consulted and provided historical information about the site as well as some suitable names.

A list of 14 possible names was compiled and narrowed down to three.

The final three were: Shuswap Memorial

Cemetery, Woodlands Memorial Cemetery and Forest Grove Cemetery. And the winner was… Shuswap Memorial Cemetery.

The staff report notes that the names of the sections in the cemetery follow a forest theme that include spruce, fir, cedar, pine, aspen and oak.

Do you really know what your kids are up to? ▾ MYTH: Once kids join a gang there’s no hope for them: Reality: Gang members in B.C. come from every socio-economic background and all ethnicities. While racial, ethnic, and gender composition can vary by locality or type of gang, gangs are often as diverse as our communities and many do not restrict who joins as long as they can make money for the gang.

Here’s 10 good reasons to keep your money local

1. Local Economic Stimulus When you purchase from locally-owned businesses more money is kept in the community because locallyowned businesses often purchase from other local businesses, and trades and service providers. Purchasing local helps grow other businesses as well as the local economy.

2. Local Businesses support your lifestyle Local business owners donate more to local schools, charities and sporting clubs than non-local owners.

3. Most Jobs Are Provided By Local Businesses Small local businesses are the largest employers nationally.

4. Unique Businesses Create Character & Prosperity The unique character of your local community is defined largely by local business and

that plays a big part in the overall satisfaction with where you live and the value of your home and property.

5. Customer Service Is Better Local businesses often hire people with more specific product expertise for better customer service.

6. You can sometimes try before you buy Small business own-

ers are generally on-site and it’s easier to ask a local if you may sample or trial a product. Try asking chain store staff or an online merchant if you can sample the product before deciding to buy!

7. Local Business Owners Invest In Community Local businesses are owned by people who live in this community,

are less likely to leave, and are more committed to the community’s welfare and future.

8. Public Benefits Far Outweigh Public Costs Local businesses require comparatively little infrastructure and more efficiently utilize public services.

9. You Matter More Your values and desires are much more influential to you local

business than the large chain stores.

10. You might get a better deal or some good advice Local businesses use their discretion to reward regular customers with discounts on items you actually want to buy. They can also tell you all about products you want to buy and personally recommend products.

cerned about radon exposure? Yes. Should they panic? No,” says Britt Swoveland, RadonAware manager for the BC Lung Association.

“The risks from radon are cumulative, which means serious effects result from exposure to high levels over a long period of time. But it is important residents test for radon and, depending on the result, effective mitigation solutions exist.”

Measured in becquerels per cubic metre (Bq/m3), Health Canada recommends home radon levels not exceed a safety guideline of 200 (Bq/m3). As there is no known safe level of exposure, the BC Lung Association recommends making every effort to minimize home radon levels to lowest levels possible.

To encourage more B.C. residents to test their homes for radon, the BC Lung Association is giving away radon test kits to three lucky contest winners every month. Sign up at RadonAware.ca.

“We hope our monthly contest will inspire more people to take the health risk of radon more seriously.

Radon gas is accountable for up to 16 per cent of lung cancers and we suggest all B.C. residents test their homes,” says Coleman Graf, volunteer BC Lung Association director for Salmon Arm. Exposure to colourless, odourless radon gas is the leading cause of lung cancer after smoking. B.C. residents, particularly those living in the Interior where levels of radon gas are known to be elevated, are urged to test their homes this winter.

“Should British Columbians be con-

how radon affects your lung health – and to enter the monthly radon test kit giveaway contest – go to the BC Lung Association’s website RadonAware. ca or call the BC Lung Association toll-free at 1.800.665.5864.

For those who want to test right away, affordable do-it-yourself radon test kits are also available for purchase online at RadonAware. ca and include home delivery of lab results for $30.

Heat take on Storm, Rockies

Variety pack: After three games, Chase gathers a win, loss and tie.

By Scott Koch CONTIBUTOR

The following is a summary of a week and a half in the lives of 23-plus Chase Heat hockey players.

In late afternoon on Remembrance Day, the team travels to the Olympic size rink the Kamloops foes call home base. Chase, as the team is apt to do on many occasions, opens scoring in the 1st – Ethan Buck with his first of the season from Kolten Moore and Spencer Farstad. In the 2nd there is no scoring and then, late in the 3rd, the Storm tie things up. Off to overtime 4 on 4 and hockey magic fails as Kamloops pops in the winner to take a 2-1 overtime win. The Heat get a point for the tie in regulation time. Nic Bruyere stops 25 of 27 in a valiant effort.

Up comes the weekend

and the boys hop on the bus to head east to Invermere and Golden for a couple of games of shinny. It’s Saturday night at the home of the Columbia Valley Rockies. They are big and seeking revenge for a loss on the shores of Little Shuswap Lake, but 22 seconds into the 1st, the injury-free Tommy Brown puts a frown on the faces of the locals, assisted by Trevor Okino and Travis Beaubien. Then on the second shot of the game for the Heat, Logan Mostat rifles one home, assisted by Zachary Fournier and Beaubien. The Rockies immediately switch goaltenders and the result changes the visitors’ momentum. Invermere pops one in shorthanded and it’s a 2-1 contest. In the 2nd, Michael Fidanza on the power play restores the advantage, assisted by Beaubien and Mason Palaga. In the 3rd, Fidanza adds to his KIJHL rookie scor-

ing lead by popping in his second from Pat Brady and Kyle Riley, an all-rookie effort! The Heat outshoot the opposition 48-28, with Bruyere allowing only one to squeak past him.

So Sunday afternoon at 4 p.m. Mountain Standard Time, the boys arrive in Golden to play the Rockets. This snakebitten competitor has just had their first victory of the season, after 22 attempts. Beware the coiled rattlesnake as one team has nothing to lose and the other is walking into this contest half awake and clearly unmotivated by the opportunity.

As usual, Chase scores first in the 1st, Fidanza from Coleton Johnson and Braden Hughes, even more reason to relax. In the 2nd the Rockets take advantage not once, not twice, but three times, and the Heat are dazed and confused. In the 3rd a bit of a comeback occurs, as Fournier scores from Mostat

and Hughes and then Kolten Moore from Hughes and Okino tie it up. Overtime proves nothing and these two “kiss their sister” as the expression goes as they each get a point.

Daniel Toews plays well, stopping 21 of 24 in net.

Hot Shots: Beaubien assisted on three of the four goals in the Invermere game and then dropped the gloves in Golden to take a decision. A very decent weekend contribution.

Veteran Hayden Orton and rookie Cale Marchuk were released to get the team down to the 23-man roster limit. Tommy Brown scored on his first shot after missing 10 games due to injury.

The Heat organization mourns the passing of billet dad and team supporter George Carlin. The community-minded great guy will be missed.

Our condolences go out to his family and friends.

n Veterans march solemnly through town during a parade on Remembrance Day.

Salmon society gets award The Adams River Salmon Society was honoured on Nov. 4 at the 11th annual BC Interior Stewardship Workshop in Enderby, hosted by the Fraser Basin Council and Fisheries and Oceans Canada.

The society was presented with Fraser Basin Council’s BC Interior Stewardship Award for Ecosystem Excellence for their role in hosting and managing the internationally famous Adams River “Salute to the Sockeye” for the last 20 years, among many other accomplishments.

The society was nominated for the award by Wes DeArmond, area supervisor with BC Parks. The society has “delivered in a big way” when it comes to providing public interpretation and recreation, states DeArmond.

Brenda Melnychuk, a vol-

unteer with the Adams River group, was present at the workshop last week and accepted the award on behalf of the society.

“It’s an honour for the society to be recognized in this way,” Melnychuk said.

Society president Darlene McBain, who was not present at the workshop, described the collaborative and multi-task nature of the society.

“The salute is a huge community effort. The society has put in an incredible amount of volunteer effort at Roderick HaigBrown Park so that thousands of visitors can come out and see the salmon.”

The society has been instrumental in pulling together communities and recruiting volunteers to organize and host the Salute the Sockeye event, held once every four years at Roderick Haig-Brown Provincial

Park. Since 2010, the interpretive cabin at the park has been open to assist and welcome visitors.

In addition to providing public interpretation, the society volunteers help keep people safe during their visit and educate visitors on the importance of minimizing their impact on the sensitive environment.

The Ecosystems Excellence Award is given out each year at the annual workshop to an organization or individual who meets the award criteria.

The criteria are: (a) demonstrating excellent leadership of a stewardship organization, (b) demonstrating responsible use, protection, and/or restoration of stream resources, or (c) promoting public awareness, appreciation, understanding and concern for ecosystems.

OLUND, HARVEY ARNOLD It is with deep sadness we share the news that our loving husband, father and grandfather, Harvey Arnold Olund, passed away peacefully on Thursday, November 12th, 2015 in Brooks, Alberta, with his wife and best friend, Jolayne, by his side.

Harvey fought bravely but lost his year-long battle with cancer at the age of 65.

Harvey is predeceased by his parents, Walter and Ethel Olund, and brother George. Harvey is survived by his devoted and loving wife Jolayne; daughters Jennifer, from Vancouver, Terri, from Edmonton, and sons Tim, from Brooks and Jim (Heather), from Rolling Hills, Alberta; his cherished grandchildren Anysha, Paige, Breeann, Kid, Quinn, Emma, and Bella; brother Ken (Tina); sisters Sharon and Cheryl (Billy) and many nieces and nephews and his loyal dog Toby.

Born July 24th, 1950 in New Westminster, B.C., Harvey graduated from Mission Secondary High School. He continued his education at Selkirk College where he completed his Millwright certification and apprenticeship in 1978 and mechanics license in 1982. Harvey and Jolayne moved to Rosemary, Alberta in 1999 and Harvey began working at Franklin Tires, where he worked until March 2015. Even as he fought cancer his strong work ethic and dedication to the Franklin family could not keep him away. Harvey enjoyed camping and fishing and especially enjoyed his trips to Yuma. NASCAR was one of his favourite past times (except Jimmy Johnson, he was not a fan).

Along with building hot rods and going to Big Valley Jamboree every year, Harvey most loved spending time with his best friend and soulmate Jolayne. Harvey was best known for his sense of humour and his love for Jolayne and his family… and his famous caesar salad dressing.

Funeral services were held on Wednesday, November 18th at 11:00 AM from Smith Memorial Chapel, Brooks. Interment at Taber Cemetery, Taber, Alberta. Funeral arrangements entrusted to SMITH FUNERAL HOME LTD. AND CREMATORIUM, BROOKS, ALBERTA. Condolences may be forwarded through www.sfh.ca Telephone Toll Free (866) 362-4652.

KEVIN BRUCE COATES March 24, 1959 - November 2, 2015 It is with heavy hearts and deep sorrow that we announce the death of Kevin Bruce Coates on November 2, 2015.

Kevin was born March 24, 1959, the last in a line of six siblings. Kevin grew up in Chase on the family farm. Kevin had a passion for anything with a motor, the faster it went the better. Many of you will remember his mud-bogging days with “Blue Thunder.” One of his other passions was fishing. He was happiest with a fishing rod in his hand.

Kevin started working for CP Rail at a young age and made many friends there who still remain his friends today (his CP family). He became a Heavy Duty Mechanic and continued his employment at CP Rail until he retired and opened his own mechanical repair shop at his home in Chase - KC and Sons.

Kevin loved his sons. They were his world. He took them on as many camping, fishing, and hunting trips as they wanted. He worked hard to give “his boys” whatever they wanted and to guide them through life as best he could.

Kevin faced many challenges in his short life, most of which he overcame. The last was too much.

Kevin will be loved and remembered by “his boys” Devon (Daria) Coates, Matthew Coates, Braden (Kimberlyn) Coates, Chance Coates and Shale Coates. Also mourning Kevin’s loss are his brothers Dave (Carole) Coates, Ken (Maureen) Coates, Gary (Sandra) Coates, his sisters Judy (Bert) Deneault, and Holly (Pete) Mintz, and many nephews, nieces and cousins. He was predeceased by his mom and dad “Bud” and Ruby Coates, and brother-in-law Terry Hand.

A memorial gathering for Kevin took place on Sunday, November 8, 2015 at the home of Gary and Sandra Coates at 4580 Kamloops-Shuswap Road.

HELEN HARRIET MOORE October 9, 1915 - November 12, 2015 It is with great sadness that we announce the passing of our beloved aunt. She was born on a Saturday, October 9, 1915 to Isaac and Cora Alice Florence Moore, nee Harris, at Turtle Valley, B.C. Helen grew up on the family farm in the Turtle Valley - Chase Creek area along with her 8 siblings and received her education in a little school house in Turtle Valley, a few miles from her home.

After a few years working on the family farm, Helen moved to Calgary where she attained a nursing degree. Then her father became ill and she returned to care for him. Her father passed away in 1957 and Helen remained on the farm with her brother, Albert, until she had a hip operation in Kamloops hospital. She never returned to the farm, but moved to Parkview Place in Chase where she resided with her sister, Florence, for many happy years. In December 2007 Helen required more health care and was moved to Mt Ida Mews in Salmon Arm where she received the most loving care until the date of her death on November 12th, 2015 There will be a memorial tea held for Helen at the Creekside Hall in Chase, B.C. on Thursday, November 19 at 2:30 p.m.

BALAS, DONALD (DON) GEORGE May 19, 1949 - November 11, 2015 On the evening of November 11, 2015, Don Balas, resident of Mara, B.C. passed away peacefully at Bastion Place in Salmon Arm at the age of 66 years.

Don was born in Saskatchewan, the youngest son of William (Bill) and Barbara Balas, both deceased.

The family moved to Penticton and later to Golden where Don grew up. He worked at the Donald Mill until it closed and then moved to Sicamous and worked at Malakwa until his retirement. He bought his Uncle Zoltan’s farm in Mara and remained there until his health deteriorated and he was moved to Bastion Place care facility.

Don will be remembered by his brothers, Dale (Lynda), Gary (Mickey), niece Tracey and nephew Jason, aunts Rose Balas of Penticton and Isobel Neilson of Penticton, numerous special cousins, his long- time partner Joyce Varga, faithful companions Blue and Puddy, and many good friends in the Shuswap and Golden area.

Honoring Don’s wishes, there will not be a funeral service, however his family plans to host a celebration of his life in the spring at his farm. His cremated remains will be scattered at that time in accordance with his instruction.

Don loved a beer with friends, a good joke and a good time. So the next time you get together with friends, tip one for Don, pause to remember him, tell some stories, trade some lies and enjoy the day.

Online condolences may be sent through Don’s obituary at www.bowersfuneralservice.com

Share Christmas cheer

AN UNFORGETTABLE GOLF EXPERIENCE!

Festive: Seasonal events to boost food banks begin.

By Barb Brouwer

MArKet neWS StAff

Pull out your winter woollies, grab some nutritious, nonperishable food items (new and never opened please) and get ready for the arrival of the annual CP Rail Holiday Train.

Every year, Holiday Trains travel through dozens of communities, raising food and cash donations for North American food banks.

Scheduled to pull into Salmon Arm by the Lordco parking lot at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 16, the brightly lit train provides great entertainment for the whole family and reminds us that not everyone has the wherewithal to celebrate Christmas.

Again this year, the Holiday Train program is encouraging people attending events to bring heart-healthy donations.

Heart-health education and awareness is a tenet of CP’s community investment program, CP Has Heart, which focuses on improving the heart health of men, women and children in communities across North

America.

The two brightly lit trains will roll out of the Montreal area on Nov. 27 and 28 on their way to visit approximately 150 communities.

The Canadian train travels west across Canada finishing its journey in Port Coquitlam. The U.S. Train visits communities across the U.S. Northeast and Midwest, and returns back to Canada for shows in Saskatchewan and Alberta.

This year, the entertainment will be provided by Jim Cuddy, a member of the Canadian country rock band Blue Rodeo, Devin Cuddy and Kelly Prescott.

The Salmon Arm Observer - Shuswap Market News Shuswap Christmas campaign has begun.

Bring in a bag of nutritious, non-perishable food to the office at 171 Shuswap Street in exchange for a tag from the Christmas tree, whose number corresponds to a gift certificate provided by local businesses.

Please note, food that is past its “best before” date will not be accepted. Nor will food that has previous-

Opera singer performs for children’s event MARKET NEWS STAff

Gratiela Pachmann will sing for the children.

Christmas with Gratiela on Saturday, Dec. 5 will feature an evening of beautiful music with all proceeds going to iLearn Street.

Often described as having the voice of an angel, Gratiela has performed sold-out concerts in the past.

“I am passionate about giving back to the community,” she says. “The (iLearn) event was cancelled in June and that’s when I realized I will do this concert so we have funds in place to have a fair that is free for all kids.”

Gratiela explains that iLearn Street allows children and youth from six to 15 to experience, imagine and actively participate in various learning opportunities through fun, interesting, innovative and interactive methods.

An event at the fairgrounds in 2013 was organized by Shuswap Eagles Pathfinder Club, a non-profit organization sponsored by the Seventh Day Adventist Church. It featured 13 interesting and innovative stations that drew rave reviews from children and parents.

Gratiela is a care aide at Hillside Village. Her last concert was two years ago in Calgary with the multiple award-winning Canadian tenor group, Tenore.

The Christmas with Gratiela concert will feature seasonal music along with songs from her album, Gratiela: The Voice of an Angel, which was released three years ago.

“Tenore performs on my album; we have collaborated with the same producers in Prague,” she says, of the album that was recorded with the Prague Philharmonic Orchestra.

Members of the Shuswap Seventh Day

Adventist Children’s Choir, including her son Everett Pachmann, will perform Edelweiss.

Gratiela will perform O Holy Night, Silent Night, Va’pensiero by Guiseppe Verdi (chorus of the Hebrew slaves) and Michael Bublé’s Home.

Gratiela is looking forward to performing Holy City with Bronwyn Christianson and a string ensemble consisting of violinists Carmen Stoney, Cherish Stoney, Naomi Chan and Tamar Skinner, Barb Ennis and Madelyn Stoney playing cello, Deverick Clingwall on bass and Andrew Stoney on piano.

“I will open with Amazing Grace,” Gratiela says. “One of my residents calls me that so I’m doing that for him.”

A classically trained soprano-lyric with a four-octave range, Gratiela was born and raised in Romania during the brutal reign of Nicolae Ceauescu.

A graduate of the town’s Scoala Populara de Arta, she was in the post office to make copies of a poster advertising an upcoming competition, when she met her future husband.

A Salmon Arm resident and part of a Pentecostal Church mission in Romania to distribute food and clothing, Tim was in the company of a pastor, his wife and another missionary couple.

They spoke no Romanian. Gratiela spoke no English.

But with the help of a colleague who could speak English, a friendship was born and three days prior to returning to Canada, Tim dropped a bombshell by asking Gratiela’s parents for permission to marry her.

Romance blossomed by telephone over the next six months and in July, 1993, Tim returned to Romania with an airplane ticket and an engagement ring.

While her introduc-

tion to Salmon Arm was overwhelming at first, Gratiela has grown to love this community and performing for a local crowd.

“I haven’t had a concert for three years and I want people to come and enjoy,” she says.

To listen to her new album, visit www.youtube.com.singevents.

The concert takes place at 6 p.m. Saturday, Dec. 5 at The Gathering Place 350 30th St. NE. Tickets are $20 at Wearabouts, Shuswap Health Foods or at the door.
